A mother and her 3 year old son were flying across country. The child, being at that wonderful age, had a question about everything. All through the flight, he was asking his mom things like "Why are the clouds so fluffy looking?" "Why don't we fall down?" "How fast are we going?" "Why is the sky so blue?" and so forth. Finally about 4 hours into the flight, he says, "Mommy, why are there no baby airplanes?"

His mother, frustrated with the questioning at this point, decides to get a few moments peace by passing the question off. "Ask the flight attendant when she comes by. She knows everything about airplanes." So, the boy waits expectantly for the flight attendant to pass.

When she does, he tugs at her sleeve and says, "Why are there no baby airplanes?". The flight attendant, confused for a moment, says, "What do you mean?". The boy replies "Well, I've seen baby elephants, baby dogs, baby cats, even baby people, but I've never seen a baby airplane." The flight attendant looks at the boy and his mother, and says, "Did your mommy tell you ask me that?" The boy smiles and nods.

The flight attendant says, "Well, the reason you never see a baby airplane is because you're flying Delta, and here at Delta, we always pride ourselves on pulling out on time. If you have any more questions, just ask your mom"

I thought it was cause they went to fast
